 Dear parent/carer

 These are very strange and scary times for us all.  We want to keep each other safe and support   one another.

 We are currently open for children with an EHCP, children at CIN or CP and children whose parents   are key workers.  We will keep in touch daily with all children at home and will also keep you   informed of any updates and when school will open again to all pupils.   

 Feel free to phone me on 01924 298351 or 07584 205507 at any time.

 Please stay safe

We’ve been approached by a team of researchers at the University of York who are interested in how children with special educational needs and disabilities are feeling during the Coronavirus outbreak and how parents/guardians would like to be supported.  They would like to invite you to complete a 5-10 minute online survey by clicking this link (https://york.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e4LnbX5Q7X2MF9j).  They’ve also compiled a list of online resources to support your wellbeing and your child’s wellbeing during the Coronavirus outbreak (see below).  If you have any queries about this survey, please contact the research team directly on ed-fabproject@york.ac.uk”

We are pleased to be part of a scheme called Operation Encompass.  Operation Encompass is a partnership between education and the police. If police are called out to an incident of domestic abuse, and a child has been present, they will contact the child's school before 9am the next day.  This then means the school can offer support to the child if needed.
